JetPilot 2.2 ============ 19. November 1995 This package contains a complete new release of the JetPilot printer driver for NEXTSTEP. JetPilot allows to use nearly all standard printers even if they have no integrated PostScript unit. THE PACKAGE =========== JetPilot.2.2.NIHS.b.tar.gz Quad FAT Package JetPilot.2.2.NI.b.tar.gz NeXT and Intel architecture only JetPilot.2.2.HS.b.tar.gz HP-PA RISC and SUN SPARC architecture only Contents: ./Documents/ directory with several notes ./pkgs_NIHS/JetPilotDriver.2.2.pkg the driver package ./pkgs_NIHS/JetPilotManager.2.2.pkg manager software package NEW/FIXED IN 2.2 ================ · BugFix in the StylusColorDriver. Printing with error diffusion and 720dpi and a splitting threshold like 4 and 8 causes a PostScript error. · BugFix in the DJ850C. Pageformates different to Letter has been ignored. · Sometimes only a reboot of the printing system makes any further printing possible, because a dead prserver process blocks the whole printing system. JetPilotManager now offers a function which enables anyone with root access to reset the print server. · Canon BJ800C added NEW/FIXED IN 2.1 ================ · Canon BJ70C added · new HP added · new EPSON added · now already printing during the render process · LPR support -> printing on non NeXT networks (Novell) · lost TCP/IP support added again (only NS 3.3) · JetPilotManager PrintPanel problem fixed · page offset adjustment now also with inch & cm · large documents - missing parts, fixed · strange color output (e.g. 850C) fixed · HP II, IIp, IIIp problems fixed · demo license problems on RISC fixed NEW IN 2.0 ========== For it's second generation we decided to extend the JetPilot driver with an application which offers the user a deeper level of access. Even the normal user now has a tool to alter important system values without knowing how to edit PostScriptPrinterDescription-Files or NetInfo entries. · customizable printer defaults what you see in your print panel · user definable rendering parameters gamma, dithering · valuable tips in the online help now also as printed manual (engl.) · parallel port fixing just to make it faster · RAM settings to reduce system load · printer accounting who - when - what - where - how · integrated ordering and licensing install & run demo Of course we also enhanced the driver. Features like reduced system load during printing and rendering or error diffusion dithering even for lasers are only two out of many improvements we made.
